@dhochman While everyone's sensitivity to noise is different if you are extremely sensitive finding an old school oven from the 70's and/or 80's may be worth searching out? Electronics are in and mechanical controls are a long lost memory. As such, finding a "quiet" wall oven is an exercise in futility. They all are noisy to some degree. I had a Whirlpool I though was loud until I replaced it with a Frigidare. In comparison the Whirlpool was quite tame lol. It really does not bother me or my wife, so we just ignore it. I do realize that for some ignoring it is not so easy to do. I was thinking of starting a business refurbishing old appliances and selling them at a premium. I wanted to more address the induction. The buzzing/zapping people complain about is the cookware. Not the actual induction unit. There are a few who will swear it is the cooktop/range, however the technology itself is silent, minus the fan needed to keep the boards and heat sinks cool. If you hear wires buzzing, that is the unit pulling too many amps from a wiring that is to low a gauge, that is a potential fire hazard that needs to be corrected. Pans need to be high quality (not necessarily high price) to eliminate unwanted buzzing/zapping. If you like cast iron, thus is an excellent choice in that regard. If it really bothers you that much though, you may just want to go with radiant electric or gas for a cooking surface.

No idea about the newly redesigned Wolf AG ranges, but one of our criteria after returning the poorly designed and poorly functioning Jade range, was one with a very quiet fan, and an on/off switch for said fan as well, was preferred. Our 2008 (?) Wolf AG has a pretty quiet fan, and we only switch it on for convection, or to facilitate cooling down on super hot days, or after lengthy/high temp oven use.

I just bought and installed a Bosch 500 series single wall oven a couple of months ago. There was minor shipping damage where the top of the oven was dented in a little so I took the sheetmetal off the top of the oven and bent it back into shape. I also noticed a little centrifugal fan on top under the sheetmetal. I'm not sure, but I assume that's the electronics fan. If I had left the sheetmetal dented in and rubbing against that fan, I'm sure it would have been very loud. At a rough guess, the electronics fan is slightly louder than my 49dB DW, though I haven't really compared them back to back. I can tell when the fan is on, but it's not that loud. It's certainly no match for my toddlers. Also, since it's a fan, it's mostly just white noise (vs. the rhythmic noise of a DW) It is a bit disconcerting how long the electronics fan stays on. I think it's actually based on the oven internal temp, since it did turn off sooner once when I had the door open trying to clean up a spill. Finally, one other thing I noticed was that two of the sheetmetal screws were partially stripped out- one of them being one of the two fan retaining screws. If the fan was loose, that certainly could contribute to increased noise and rattling. I did go out and buy slightly larger sheetmetal screws, but didn't get around to putting them in. It is nice having the peace of mind that I could screw some bits in tighter if there was any rattling, though pulling the oven out would be a bit of a pain.

Hi! I am considering a GE wall oven, model JK1000SFSS or JK3000SFSS. Basically this is GE's single wall oven, no integrated microwave, no convection, and from the basic line, not the Profile or Monogram version. I am hoping for comments on how loud the fan is. If anyone happens to have a decibel meter that would be awesome! But subjective comments are great too. :) I have a 12 yr old combo micro/oven from GE, and after using the oven the fan runs for 45-60 minutes, rather loudly. I'm hoping the above model is quieter. Thanks in advance!
